One crazy weekend

Well, the Orioles lost, as usual. I was trying to get some cards out of the deal, but whenever I buy cards from a stadium, the results are never very good. Good news was I got to see a few future hall of fa- oh, right, roids, nevermind.

I just got back from a day in Ocean City, and yes, I DID buy some cards this time. I got a pack of 2004 Topps Series 1. Among the possible rookies are...uh, there really aren't many.

Let's rip

69- Marlon Byrd. We all thought he was going to be big. My friend Mason has an entire binder full of Byrd cards on the Phils. Sadly, he was traded mid-2005, and we were stuck with a little guy named SHANE VICTORINO!

100- A-Rod. Well, this may be the closest thing possible to a hit in this pack. This card has him on the Rangers, although he was traded to the Yanks after printing started.

151- Erubiel Durazo, who seems to keep popping up in my wax rips. Durazo did, however, share a rookie card with a certain former Philly who has flown the coop and plays for Tampa.

99- John Halama, who also seems to be popping up here.

129- Dmitri Young. Another guy who ended up in my hands in a past rip, but this guy is someone worth bragging about.

Who the bleep is this guy, anyway?

I've been collecting since 2007. Mostly Yankees and Phillies, but just about anything. I keep binders of players I like, baseball and football, active and retired. Current college student, though I doubt I'll ever leave this hobby behind.
